Again, Planet America shows how weird things are getting.
this could be very interesting if in fact Biden does poorly in the debate, honestly I think that many people who would vote for him want to see what happens in that debate before they sign off on him.Again, Planet America shows how weird things are getting.

The debates have always been viewed in tradition as an opportunity for the nation to see how both candidates can make their case for themselves and against their opponent with each one able to give rebuttals against the other in a real conversation not canned answers dreamed up later by an adviser.
That's not the subject of the thread! Do you believe it's right to allow voting before the debates or don't you.Bit like the tradition the Presidents publish their tax information so we see who they have financial ties with.

I don't see how the way that they are going to do mail in voting is even Constitutional as the Constitution requires election day to be the same throughout the country. Mail in voting, as it is being done, makes election day several different days not one day throughout the country. A different day for everyone is not only technically unconstitutional but also completely the opposite of the spirit of the clause. The idea of having one day for elections is so that the people will have the exact same information available to them . If one finds out on Nov.2 that a candidate is not who one thought he/she was when one voted, it is too late to change one's mind. The only way mail in voting could be Constituional is if the ballot were placed in the mail on Nov. 3. not before or after that date.
So all the ballots that have been cast by service members all through our history have been “unconstitutional”?The only way mail in voting could be Constituional is if the ballot were placed in the mail on Nov. 3. not before or after that date.

Uh-huh.
Given that absentee voting has been used since the Civil War, is this an issue you’ve complained about your whole life, or did it only become a problem this election?
Let’s just call it “election month”?My whole life. I even suggested a way for mail in and absentee voting to be Constitutional. Mail in same day voting should not be unconstitutional. As there are two and a half months until the results have to be absolutely verified I don't see that what I am suggesting would be a problem for vote counting. Why would anyone be opposed to that? Unless one thinks their particular candidate would fare worse if more was known about him when the constitution requirements were followed and one's political preferences were more important to one than the Constitution and following the rules it set out.
Yes - that was a thing until recent times. Trump - the bad Santa gift that keeps on "giving!"Bit like the tradition the Presidents publish their tax information so we see who they have financial ties with.
I believe people are being heavily influenced against mail ballot. Because of Trump and possibly their news source. And that why Trump supporters are bickering about how wrong it is.So all the ballots that have been cast by service members all through our history have been “unconstitutional”?
Uh-huh.
It's horrendous to have a President undermine democracy like this! A properly organised Mail Ballot is a really hard thing to undermine - and it is an awful lot of effort to look up a local deceased person's records, get their social security, fill in their address, get their Mail Ballot, fill it out and mail it off, risk jail time if you get found out when the equivalent Dept of Death Certificates talks to social security, all for just impersonating ONE vote!I believe people are being heavily influenced against mail ballot.
